    Chicken Fried Steak & Eggs
    Michelle L.

    restaurant is located inside a shopping center upstairs. Not very visible from the main street. We came early on a week day and was able to get seated fairly quickly. We were immediately greeted upon walking in, and they have extended outdoor seating as well. We were seating inside and ordered pretty quick after being seated. The portions are generous here, plenty to share especially if you like to portion control like myself. I would say the food is decent but presentation is not the best. The atmosphere is loud with lots of close tables next to each other. The servers were nice and checked on us several times. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the area.

    We spent some time in the Aptos and Capitola area and found this gem. It is tucked back in a shopping center and is well worth the visit or two! We ended up going three times because we loved it so much. We had chicken fried steak and egg dish with a biscuit and gravy. Chefs kiss! The carnitas Benedict special was also wonderful. It was filled with of flavor and perfectly seasoned. The stuffed bear claw and the pecan waffles were also so good. Nothing disappointed us. The service was good and we dined outside one day (pictures are under the red umbrellas) and inside two times. They have counter seating or table seating inside. Overall when we are back in the area we will definitely be back. We love a good breakfast spot - especially local and unique spots so this was a win!

    Biscuit and gravy
    Christopher S.

    Found in the DeerPark shopping center. Place has been around a while and they have a decent local following. Prices are average, portions are big. Service is nice and they are on it. There's a lot on the menu. Ordered chicken fried steak with over easy eggs and biscuit/gravy. While the steak was good, along with the eggs being great. The "homemade" biscuit was dry and the gravy looked old. Like premade. Home fry potatoes are plentiful and taste good. Overall just average. Carpet is absolutely disgusting and worth at least -1 star. Understandably there is carpet given the high wood ceilings but if carpet is the desired flooring it will need to be changed, not just cleaned, like once a year. Can not only see it but smell it.

    Homemade Cinnamon Rolls

    I was really in the mood for a cinnamon roll and was pleased to see they had it on their menu. While their chai latte was great the cinnamon roll was not good unfortunately. Refrigerated and heated up but not even warm, very disappointed.

    Eggs over with country potatoes. I subbed the toast for a biscuit and gravy.

    I really enjoyed my time at the Red Apple Cafe. These are the type of restaurants that I like to support. They have a great outside dining area, but we chose to eat inside. I loved the rustic ambiance of this cafe. Our service was fantastic. I got eggs over easy with country potatoes. The country potatoes are the best I have ever had. Perfectly crispy on the outside and soft inside. They overcooked one of the eggs a bit, but that's ok. Next time I will remember to get Sunny-side up. I got a biscuit and gravy and it was so darn good. The mini pancakes are not mini at all. They were cooked to perfection as well. When I am in Aptos for breakfast or brunch, I will come here again.

    Apricot Almond Pancakes (Top) King Salmon Benedict (Right) Steak and Eggs (Bottom)

    This was a cute little brunch spot in a shopping plaza. We ordered the King Salmon Benedict, Steak and Eggs, and the Apricot Almond Pancakes for "dessert." The steak and eggs were cooked perfectly. Although the hollandaise on the benedict was a bit bland, the salmon was seasoned so well! I loved the complexity of the flavors given by the exotic spices. The potatoes and sausages were impeccable and I loved that there was a variety of sausages that they paired with different dishes. The pancakes had what I presume was dried apricots in it. We didn't really like it as was very stiff and chewy but the flavor was very nice with the soft crunch of the almonds. We just wish it was softer. For service and ambience, we absolutely loved the cozy cabin feel of the restaurant. Every staff member who served us were very sweet and lovely as well and checked in on us frequently. Definitely a solid brunch spot in this area!

The food here is spectacular--the breads and baked goods are made completely fresh, right in the shop. The French toast is truly out of this world, the quiche and sandwiches are top-notch and first-class, and the muffins are remarkable. The vibe feels like a perfect cross between a warm Southern country spot and a quaint, exquisite French bistro. As incredible as the food is, the service is a 10.5 out of 10. Everyone is so friendly, kind, and accommodating. The owners, Michelle and Dave, came through while I was there and took the time to stop and talk with people at every single table. Together, they set an atmosphere that makes every customer feel deeply valued. Superb food that is only surpassed by the genuine attention and care given to everyone who walks through the door!

I don't understand as the food in the past has been good, now I'm afraid to eat there. If the restaurant isn't clean and the bathroom isn't clean, how can we be sure the kitchen is kept clean The bathroom has needed painting for two years yet it's not happening and the door has issues The gift shop has very nice gifts at fair prices.
